It was an exaggeration at Obamas supposed attempts at negotiating with repubs. Present them with something so outlandish and at complete odds with what their platform represents and then tell them if they don't agree to that, it's over.

Sarcasm is lost in type I suppose. Eye yi yi..............

Awesome introduction.

The POTUS tried numerous times to negotiate with Republicans. He removed the public option from the ACA, and what did it get? Zero votes. The ACA is basically the exact plan that right wing think tank The Heritage Foundation wrote in the 1990s.

He also laid the Democratic sacred cows on the table in terms of budget cuts. He agreed to discuss cutting entitlements and Dems even brought up a plan to do so. Yet Republicans flat out refused to compromise by allowing even a small measly tax hike.

And you want to say that the POTUS didn't compromise? Show us where Republicans ONCE tried to compromise. They talk a big game, but when it comes down to it, Republicans have NEVER once tried to compromise with the POTUS or Dems. Compromise involves giving - Republicans haven't given once.
